Dashtestan County (Persian: شهرستان دشتستان) is in Bushehr province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Borazjan.[2]
History
[edit]The Gur-e Dokhtar is a 6th century tomb located near the border with the Fars province. It is probably the resting place of Cyrus I (Cyrus II's grandfather.)
The people of this district revolted against Nader Shah in September 1746.[3] In June 1747, the rebels captured Bushehr.
After the 2006 National Census, Darvahi Rural District and the city of Ab Pakhsh were separated from Shabankareh District in the establishment of Ab Pakhsh District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Dashti-ye Esmail Khani Rural District.[4]
After the 2011 census, the village of Bushkan was elevated to the status of a city.[5]
